Chapter 508: The earth-shattering sound of cowhide blowing
The book is picked up again.
After Lu Bu's army broke through the army formation of the two Xiahou brothers, it did not stop, and immediately rushed towards Cao Cao's camp.
At this time, Lu Bu was lying on a carriage covered in blood, and with an anxious face, he shouted to the herald on the side, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Order the troops to speed up the march! β
Although Lu Bu was full of injuries, his eyes were full of excitement, which made him forget the pain on his body for a while.
Zhang Liao, who was leading the troops at the front of the army, immediately frowned after hearing the order conveyed by the herald.
Then, he rode his horse to Lu Bu's carriage and whispered to Lu Bu, "My lord, the soldiers are tired, why do you want to speed up the march?" β
After Lu Bu heard Zhang Liao's words, he replied impatiently, "You don't have to ask so much, just follow the order!" β
"But......" Zhang Liao hesitated for a while, then said to Lu Bu, "Lord, my subordinates and soldiers are all exhausted, if we speed up the march again, my subordinates are afraid that they will not be able to bear it."
Not only that, even if they march at the current pace, they won't be able to hold out for long, so why don't I wait for a little rest before continuing the march, how about it? β
"No way!" When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately loudly rejected Zhang Liao's proposal.
Then, he insisted on saying, "You don't care so much, immediately let the army advance quickly, if anyone dares to disobey the order, there will be no mercy!" β
Lu Bu was already crazy by the secret method of "Mr. Mu", and he couldn't care about the life or death of his subordinates.
What he wants to do most now is to hurry to Cao Cao's camp, find out that Mr. Mu, and force him to hand over the secret method, other than that, Lu Bu can't care about other things!
Zhang Liao's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing Lu Bu's order, he didn't know why Lu Bu gave such a cruel order.
In the past, although Lu Bu was also arrogant, he was not bad to his subordinates.
Why did he go against the norm today, regardless of the life or death of his subordinates, and forcibly let them march, which made Zhang Liao a little puzzled.
"My lord, although my subordinates don't know why you have to break through Cao Cao's camp in a short time.
But my subordinates know that if you continue to let me wait for the rapid march, I am afraid that even if we rush to Cao Cao's camp, we will not have the strength to attack again! I also hope that the lord will think twice. β
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao turned over and dismounted, and bowed deeply to Lu Bu's carriage.
"......" Lu Bu was silent for a while after hearing Zhang Liao's words.
Then, with a sigh, he said, "Alas...... That's it, Ben Hou is too anxious!
In that case, pause the march and take a break. β
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu sighed again.
It's not that he let them rest because he cherishes his soldiers, but he thinks that Zhang Liao is right.
If he forced everyone to march hurriedly, I was afraid that by the time they reached Cao Cao's camp, the army would lose its combat effectiveness.
At that time, not only will he not be able to capture Mr. Mu alive, but he may even have to accompany him, so Lu Bu will agree to suspend the march and take a rest.
"Whoa! The Lord is wise! After a little patting on the back, Zhang Liao happily went to convey Lu Bu's order.
"Wen Hou has an order, suspend the march and rest in place!"
"Wen Hou has an order......
As the order was given, the exhausted soldiers immediately stopped marching and sat on the ground, panting for breath.
Although they marched for half an hour, the speed of the march was almost enough to outrun the horses during this half hour.
In addition, they had another bloody battle before this, so they only ran for half an hour, and they tired these soldiers under Lu Bu.
Halfway through, many people ran away secretly, and they couldn't stand the speed of the march.
While they were resting, some of their fellow villagers gathered together in twos and threes and talked in whispers.
One of the soldiers whispered to his companion and asked, "Hey, you say, why did Wen Hou have to let us march in a hurry?" Cao Cao can't run again, isn't it the same if we go slowly? β
After hearing this, the other soldier fanned the sweat on his face with his hand, and said with a complaining face, "Who knows!
Aren't these generals all like this, for the sake of the plan in their hearts, they don't care about our life or death at all! β
"Be quiet!!" The soldier who asked the question, after hearing this, was shocked, he looked around nervously, pushed his companion, and said, "Wang Er, do you want to die?!" Dare to say such things! β
"Humph!" After Wang Er heard this, he snorted coldly, and said with a nonchalant face, "Li Si, don't make too much fuss, just say it, what can you do?!"
With so many people in the army, can General Zhang still hear our conversation?
There are not a few people who say these complaints, and I haven't seen anyone get caught, so don't scare yourself. β
"Alright, alright!" Hearing this, Li Si shook his head and said, "Even if I'm afraid of you, don't say it anymore, if people really hear about us, it's over!" β
After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Wang Er would continue to say sensational words, so he immediately changed the topic, "Do you say that General Gao is dead or alive now?" β
"General Gao?" Hearing this, Wang Er frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and asked with a puzzled face, "Who is General Gao?" β
"Who else could it be?!" After Li Si rolled his eyes, he said helplessly, "It's the old-fashioned general who followed Wen Hou in the past." β
"Hey! Who am I talking about, it turned out that you were talking about Gao Shun! β
Speaking of this, Wang Er shook his head and said with disdain on his face, "He's just Wen Hou's guard, what kind of general is he?" You're exalting him too much! β
"Guards?!" After Li Si heard Wang Er's words, he asked angrily, "Have you ever seen a guard leading seven or eight hundred soldiers?!"
Have you ever seen a guard who can interject in front of Wen Hou?! β
Speaking of this, he pursed his lips, looked at Wang Er, and asked with a speechless face, "Wang Er, although you and I are not from the same village, we are also fellow villagers, and you are also from a farmer's background, why are you so arrogant?!" β
Li Forty didn't understand, why was Wang Er so arrogant?
Since Wang Er entered the army, no one looked down on him, and if Li Si was not his fellow countryman, he probably wouldn't have paid attention to Li Si.
Li Si didn't understand, where did Wang Er get this kind of confidence?
When Wang Er heard this, he patted the war knife that he put on the ground, and said with a proud face, "It was the blade in the hand of a certain family that gave a certain family confidence!"
A certain family has already cut three heads on the battlefield, and after a certain family has cut seven more people, they will be able to make up enough military merits and be promoted to the rank of chief!
When the time comes, a certain family can take a dozen people to rush and kill on the battlefield.
At that time, it would definitely be easier for a certain family to get military merits, and maybe after defeating the alliance of princes, a certain family would become a general! β
Speaking of this, he fell into a reverie in his heart, as if he was talking in a dream, and muttered, "Since a certain family is a future general, why does a certain family want to save face for that Gao Shun?"
At most, there were only 100 people under his command, and after a certain family became a general, he might be able to command 10,000 people.
So, Gao Shun is a fart! After a certain family becomes a general, he has to salute when he sees a certain family! Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
At the end, he laughed profusely, immersed in his own world.
"Goo-toot!" After Li Si heard Wang Er's words, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, looked behind Wang Er with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice, "Wang... Wang Er, don't say it again!
General Gao is a good person, we can't criticize him behind our backs! β
"What's this!" Wang Er didn't see Li Si's strange appearance, he was interrupted by Li Si's reverie, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he said loudly, "Even if Gao Shun is standing in front of a certain family, a certain family dares to point at his nose and scold him!"
Who is a certain family? A certain family is a future general! How can you be afraid of a mere Gao Shun?! β
Anyway, bragging is not illegal, so Wang Er bragged to death.
"Hehe......" As soon as Wang Er's words fell, a chuckle came from behind him.
Then, a voice sounded from behind him, "If Zhang Liao stood in front of you, would you scold him?" β
"Zhang Liao?" Wang Er bragged and went crazy, and after hearing this question, he said without thinking, "What is Zhang Liao?!"
After a certain family became a general, they found a way to demote him to a groom and let him feed the horses to a certain family! β
Li Si in front of Wang Er, after hearing Wang Er's words, his face became as pale as a paper man.
Then, he stood up suddenly, bowed deeply to Zhang Liao behind Wang Er, and said loudly, "Subordinate Li Si, I have seen the general, Wang Er was just talking nonsense just now, and I hope the general will not blame!" β
"Will... Will... Will... Checkmate?!! After Wang Er heard Li Si's words, he trembled with fright, his teeth chattered, he stood up suddenly, his neck was like a rusty machine, and he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao behind him.
Seeing Wang Er looking at him, Zhang Liao smiled slightly, and asked jokingly, "General Wang, Zhang Liao is here, please scold." β
"Will will will ...... Checkmate...... I'm ...... Belch!!! After Wang Er stammered for a long time, suddenly, his eyes rolled and he fainted.
"Poof!" None of the people present dared to help Wang Er, so he fell to the ground with a "poof", and the sound was ...... It hurts to hear!
"Huh!" Zhang Liao saw that Wang Er was stunned by himself, and after chuckling, he shook his head helplessly.
He was just joking with Wang Er just now, but he didn't expect that Wang Er, who bragged so loudly, was so timid, it was really laughable.
"Okay, you can continue to rest, and a certain family will go to other places first."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao left without looking back.
He was here because he wanted to see what morale was like.
Now, after seeing a lot of places and listening to a lot of conversations between non-commissioned soldiers, he came to a conclusion: "Although there are a few complaints in the army, the morale is acceptable, and it can be used!" β
After the soldiers under LΓΌ Bu's command rested for half an hour, LΓΌ Bu let them continue the march.
"The general has an order, and the army is marching out!"
"The general has an order......
As Lu Bu's order was conveyed, the soldiers who had almost rested stood up one after another, lined up in formation, and marched towards Cao Cao's camp......
PS I was going to change it this month, but I tried it today...... Alas! Old! The liver is not moving...... Now I can only say five or six thousand words a day, and I can change it every three or five times, please forgive me.
